Oral Appliance Therapy

The main alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is oral appliance therapy. Our office offers various oral appliances that reposition a patient's tongue and jaws to open the airway and promote better sleep. Your sleep specialist can customize a treatment plan and oral device for each patient based on their sleep apnea symptoms and the severity of their condition. ProSomnus PH Sleep and Snore Device

CPAP pushes air through a hose and mask that fits over the mouth and nose. It helps people with sleep apnea and allows them to maintain steady breathing. However, it can be noisy, inconvenient, costly, and uncomfortable for many patients. These reasons are why numerous patients prefer oral appliance therapy to treat snoring and sleep apnea symptoms. 

What Is Oral Appliance Therapy?

Oral appliance therapy is effective for those who snore or have mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The oral appliance fits comfortably over the teeth, like a mouthguard or orthodontic retainer, while you sleep. A dental appliance helps support the jaws by moving them forward, opening the airway, and allowing the wearer to breathe more adequately. The oral appliance also helps keep the tongue from blocking the trachea. 

Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy  

Oral appliance therapy is a non-invasive treatment that effectively and easily fits many patients' lifestyles. Patients of all ages prefer oral appliance therapy because it's:

  • Portable
  • Convenient
  • Easy to wear 
  • Comfortably
